Caches are placed to hold postcards with each postcard having a
short message and a forwarding address on it. The address should
have the person's name that you are trying to send the postcard to,
their home area and destination cache. The idea is to move
postcards from post office or cache enroute until they reach their
destination. When you move a postcard or message from one place to
another let the person that it is being sent to know in case they
are close enough to pick it up. Make sure that you are moving it
closer to its' destination.
If you are having trouble finding the cache decrypt the clue, it
will lead you there.
Who should I send these postcards or messages to?
Any geocaching team that you want.
What's the purpose?
It's another neat thing that we can do with geocaching! It's also
nice to keep in touch with other geocachers.
What do I need to put on my postcard?
Put the name of the cacher, the destination and a cache where it
can be picked up at. A message to the recipient is appreciated
too.
How far can I send a postcard?
As far as you want providing that there are post offices and caches
along the way.
How do I send one?
Go to any geo-post office and place your message or postcard in
there. Read the out going mail to see if you can help a card or
message along its' way.
How do I start my own geo-post office?
All you need is a cache container, logbook, stash note, zip-lock
bags and some postcards to start. Put the postcards or messages in
a zip-lock bag and your logbook in another. Make sure that your
location is listed as a geo-post office so that other cachers
know.
